In the past two days, the little friends who lived the May Day holiday in advance have probably seen the holiday grandeur of the crowds.
Shopping, watching movies, meeting friends, traveling, or simply taking advantage of the holiday to lie down and rest, I think the holiday is already full.
However, when everyone enjoys the holiday, there are still many people who stick to their posts, such as the fire and rescue personnel around us, who are not only difficult to rest, but even busier and harder than usual.
Most of the time, we can only learn about the fire and rescue workers who are silently burdened through concise news.
However, there is a movie that starts in time for the holiday, bringing us a shocking, exciting fire rescue story -
This is "Shocking Rescue", which was released on April 28.
We are no strangers to movies that restore disaster scenes, with 2019's "Heroes of Fire" focusing on the explosion of an oil spill pipeline, and the year before last's "Peak Explosion" restorating thrilling rescue scenes in geological disasters.
If you think that "Shocking Rescue" is just another cliché about disaster relief, you really want to miss a film worth dragging your family to watch.
The disaster in "Shocking Rescue" occurred in a chemical park, where more than 100,000 tons of chemicals were stored, and nearly 100 highly toxic, flammable and explosive Class A major risk sources were stored.
In such a location full of sources of risk, an explosion must be a catastrophe. And this extremely dangerous situation is what the rescue team members in "Shocking Rescue" are about to face.
I have to say that the relatively peaceful life sometimes limits our imagination of disasters, "Shocking Rescue" uses shocking pictures to restore the deafening thrilling scene of the spread of fire and huge explosions, and the successive explosions not only blew up the buildings in the factory area, but also the fire in the sky and the chemical toxic gas leakage caused by the subsequent explosion, and the collapse of regional earthquakes may threaten human life at any time.
In the face of disaster, individual helplessness and despair are the most heart-wrenching, and good movies always carry a compassionate perspective.
"Shocking Rescue" does not only focus on grand and shocking scenes, people screaming, calling for help, running, and being trapped when disasters occur are even more heart-wrenching places for the audience.
Hollywood blockbusters show us that lone heroes in times of crisis are one enemy hundred, but in reality, it is difficult to expect this kind of rescue.
The touching thing about "Shocking Rescue" is that it is not the myth that rescues us, but one ordinary rescue worker after another.
Station manager Zhao Yingqi, played by Wang Qianyuan, as an experienced "old man", is frighteningly strict when training in peacetime. The movie does not try to create a perfect hero, and Zhao Yingqi, as a soul figure, will inevitably provoke the puzzlement of colleagues because of his tough style.
But such a tough guy, as the movie unfolds, in the face of the immediate danger, he pretends to be calm and comforts his teammates with a cheerful voice. Only in the movie can we get closer to the world of the characters and understand that in the face of the desperate situation of teammates falling one by one, even such a strong person will squat down and cry.
In "Shocking Rescue", we can not only see such a humane leader as Zhao Yingqi, but also countless rescue team members who stick to ordinary posts.
Wang Wenbin (played by Wang Ge) in the movie has a timid personality, and he was as frightened as us ordinary people when the accident occurred, and going home to celebrate his father's birthday is his ordinary and eager expectation.
When we see him in the movie with the encouragement and support of his teammates to summon up courage and begin to protect others, we will be proud of him from the bottom of our hearts, and also because of a strong sense of substitution, we can't help but cry when we see him finally die.
There are no thin tool people in "Shocking Rescue", each character has a complete story, and this meticulous and patient restoration of the characters calms the great fear when the disaster occurs.
You can't imagine yourself becoming Superman, but when we bring ourselves into every ordinary rescuer in Shocking Rescue, we probably feel that we also have the possibility of becoming a hero.
The rescue team members in the movie, there are good old people with a sense of life, brave and intelligent students, and enthusiastic sports boys, these flesh-and-blood images are the most moving way for us to understand firefighters as flesh-and-blood people.
The reason why "Shocking Rescue" has to be included in the May Day viewing list, in addition to the thrilling rescue scene, the full and vivid rescue protagonists, and various high-tech advanced rescue scenes when the disaster occurs.
This movie put the "black technology" of emergency rescue on the domestic screen for the first time, and high-tech such as drones, "water dragon" fire extinguishing robots, "Blizzard", full-coverage electromagnetic guns, bomb-dropping high-rise building dry powder fire trucks have appeared, which really makes the audience feel the hope brought by the use of science and technology.
After all, it is always sad to see the vivid and lovely rescuers in the movie give their lives for the mission. "Shocking Rescue" does not use all the sight to amplify the panic in the disaster, when we are worried, sad and moved by the people and rescuers at the scene in the film, it also allows us to see hope, truly feel that even in the face of desperate situations, we are not alone, when the faint light gathers, we can see the light of hope.
